:?: :?: I don't see what I did wrong, please explain. First off my lathe has a 9" swing (no gap bed) and the triple tree is too big to turn in it so I just cut it with a cut off wheel, I chamfered the edge to get good weld penetration. The other piece I turned in the lathe to make it one inch shorter, chamfered on the lathe and then I welded both pieces together. This is not bad practice since the stem does not bear a lot of bending loads neither does it bear a lot of tension load. In the chassis design list there was a question on what to use as a stem and many of the guys in the list who have been building frames for a long time said even a threaded rod would be fine.JeanPS I won't have my milling machine until march And I lose brain cells every day :cry:
